Re: Fw: Sustain in midi output of Piano Centered Dynamics Template

[Graham Percival]

It wasn't me; I just reminded somebody to work on it.

If this uses 2.11 stuff (which I imagine it does, given the new
dynamic stuff), then you should update
input/new/piano-template-...ly

Changes won't appear until Neil runs makelsr.py, but there isn't
any urgency for this.

Cheers,
- Graham
